Get to Know Each Other
This section is designed to break the barriers, learn about each other's work, and get inspired.
This week we feature work from Anish Paul Antony (former- interim PDA president and corresponding secretary).
Anish<https://d-lab.mit.edu/about/people/anish-paul-antony> is working with the D-Lab's Energy Research Group<https://d-lab.mit.edu/research/energy> and is expanding the group's efforts in South Asia.
He currently supports the development of energy access programs with community-based organizations. Anish led the MIT D-Lab students and went to Nepal and India with the aim of helping the ones in need by installing insulation in a rooms to test the effectiveness of the low-cost insulation panels made at MIT using temperature sensors made by Sensen (a start up at D-lab) and an Onset HOBO. Full story available here.<https://d-lab.mit.edu/news-blog/blog/innovating-above-clouds-retrofit-insulation-himalayan-base-homes> Keep up the good work Anish!
